Cancer - Sadat X, Miss Sixx

Cancer is like a dark day

But how you think the dark comes to light?

Affects millions

Might’ve affected someone you know

Someone close to you, someone you love dearly

It does not discriminate

Help them to rise

Help others to rise

My man Star died from bone cancer

They couldn’t find an answer

Unregulated cell growth, malignant neoplasm

Two hundred known cancers

I will explain in my stanza

To determine what causes it is so complex

This time, you get to call X

Cancer is detected in various ways

Medical imagining and screening

Show cells that grow and divide

That’s why we need to get outside

Exercise is a must

Tobacco kills us

But sometimes it comes for no known reason

Chemo and radiation

A lot of people in this nation

Fight that battle every day

Thirteen percent of all human death

DNA mutations reaches all nations

Affects generations (families!)

Cancer is the great imitator

Sometimes it reveals itself much later

From a boss to a waiter

It don’t discriminate

It don’t discriminate

Hodgkin’s disease, leukemia

Cancer of the colon and the prostate

You need to get yourself straight

Cancer of the lungs is rising

The first thing you do in the morning is buy a loose

It feel like a boost

It’s a threat in that skinny cigarette

Exposed to asbestos in the air

In that jail, they wasn’t playing fair

Shit was everywhere

That’s why I lost two brothers that year

Lymphoma, melanoma;

this little place in Oklahoma

Devoted to the study that killed Rena

And Mr. Chin, my neighborhood cleaner

Pancreatic ain’t democratic

Aspirin helps seven percent

Them other medicines?

How can I pay the rent?

I need to help with breast cancer

Hope this bracelet on my wrist brings an answer

I’ll walk a thousand miles if it brings forth smiles

3000 BC, the Egyptians described cancer

So why we ain’t got an answer?

The most common form of cancer’s on the skin

It might affected your friend

Count Basie, Bob Marley, Peter Falk, Walter Payton

I’m waiting for that budget, for them big funds

So we can cure our loved ones

Save the babies, the seeds

That’s what the world needs

Let’s explore needs

The Race for Life could save a life for your mama

I hope this strikes a nerve

But in the news we concerned with guns and purp

Have you ever been to Ronald’s House?

Take your family there
